My very expensive laptop feels very solid when I stand it on it. Used it for live performances and it worked great. Also attached a couple of music stand accessories to it (used the mic arm and music stand as a shelf) and it was still very stable. I doubt the durability (years) of this product as the strength comes from the stickiness of the plastic which I think could fade after prolonged use. (I bought it a few months ago and it still works great)
